Jam it back in, in the dark.

Boktai 3 Sabata's Counterattack (Game Rip) - Solar Tree Yggdrasill A very nice chiptune with complex melody and development plus a nice dark feel. One of the better chiptunes we've had of late, and one hopes that it'll be entered if there's ever a BCC2.

Legend of Game Music 2 ~Platinum Box~ - POWER DRIFT - LIKE THE WIND (B Course) A pleasingly-done, if rather samey, bit o' synth. It's in the upper echelon of very similar tunes of this genre, and I enjoyed it, but that doesn't change the fact that the basic structure is identical to hundreds of other tracks.

Maple Story (Game Rip) - Tree Dungeon Very light, very ambient--much like the previous Maple Story track, if memory serves. Enjoyable if a bit slight.

Okage: Shadow King Original Soundtrack - Vampire Evil King Battle I recently played and beat Okage, so the time was right for a nomination. 50% of the OST is delightful quirk and the other half is utter shit; unfortunately, the battle tracks are on the awful side save this one. It effectively mixes action and quirk with some great melody, rhythm, and an appropriate faux-gothic sound. What a pity that it only plays once in the game!

Sekaiju no MeiQ Super Arrange Version - Battle - Destruction Begets Decay An odd track, moving from jazz solo trumpet to full on Falcom-style synth rock. The piano is a nice touch, but the trumpet totally takes me out of the song--so very out of place--and there are enough draggy parts to bring the whole thing down considerably.

Storm of Progear Original Soundtrack - To the Blue Sky -Stage 1- To be perfectly honest, I couldn't remember a note of this even after playing it twice. Very vanilla, with a wall of sound approach that effectively muffles whatever it's trying to do.

Tr3s Lunas - Tr3s Lunas Sort of a Latin/light adult contemporary fusion. Pleasant enough, but it didn't really engage me on any level. The piano is good, but the random whispered vocals made me reach for the Audacity.

Yogurting Original Soundtrack - The Student Council is Very Busy! Cute faux-western track. Those three words sum it up better than a paragraph of analysis could. So, to fill space, I offer this link.

A fine week all around, with the worst sin being flavorlessness.

The Point Spread
Okage - 3 pts.
Boktai 3 - 2 pts.
Maple Story - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
